Kate’s new film for Deeper Understanding out April 26th! Preview clip posted!

Kate’s made an extraordinary new short film starring Robbie Coltrane, Frances Barber and Noel Fielding, to accompany the release of her current single “Deeper Understanding”. The film will be available on Kate’s official Youtube page from Tuesday 26th April 2011 and available to download from all iTunes stores worldwide. To get things started and bring you Deeper Understanding we’ve posted a short clip on YouTube here.

Kate, is releasing her new album Director’s Cut on May 16, and has directed an amazing short film to accompany the release of the current single “Deeper Understanding”. The film stars Robbie Coltrane as a successful businessman who is so obsessed by his computer that it leads to the break-up of his family (Frances Barber plays his wife) and, ultimately, his demise.

In an extraordinary sequence of shots, Coltrane is taken over by the spirit of the computer (played by Albert Bush, Kate’s son) , is reborn and seeks to exact revenge on the spirit, tracking it over London to a room inhabited by Noel Fielding. Revenge is absolute, resulting in the death of Fielding’s character…and a surprising ending.

The film was conceived and directed by Kate and produced by Michael Solinger. It was shot over 5 days in London. The amazing visual effects were worked on by Ben Perrot of Destroy All Monsters and Matthias Lindahl from Fido.

“Deeper Understanding” first released in 1989 is perhaps even more relevant today as technology and computers begin to dominate our lives and leave us with little time to dream as technology and computers play an increasingly dominant role in our lives.

I Love going back in time! ; this clip takes me back to the Bruxelles Fantasy Film Festival in 1994: Sitting first row with Robbie Coltrane as Little tumb, waiting if Kate would step by. And there she was[ the first time I saw Kate LIVE] introducing her “The Line, the cross..” Love from at least another Dutch fan

Look at that robotic Lips. It can be the single cover as well!!! Amazing. The sound wave is back! Like the cover of ARIEL. It’s really creative to have the sound wave synch with bertie’s voice. BRILLIANT work!!! Can’t wait to see the whole thing!!!
